Ace weighs in to buy Chubb

The
takeover will be the largest on record in the sector. Newton Perkins’ active monitor
of Underwriting Mergers and Acquisitions has recorded the upswing with the
likes of the $7.5bn Tokio Marine takeover of
HCC Insurance; and XL combining forces with Catlin in a £2.7bn transaction
amongst 9 deals we’ve recorded in the first 6 months of 2015.
